    Can egg laying chickens drink Mosquito Dunk water?

    Bumping this- we have a small ornamental pond that my chickens drink out of while free ranging and it’s teeming with mosquito larvae! I was hesitant to put some dunks in there but will be now!

    Help- Raspy Hen with messy bottom- brought into house - bath and next steps? Help

    She ended up pulling through. Her poops were fine. I don’t know if she had something stuck in her throat or if it is gapeworm?

    Possible Light Brown Leghorn or ???

    She is a cute little thing and pretty friendly/curious! the pond is cute- it used to have a fish resident but he got eaten by something! not a chicken! Might put a new fish in in the spring!

    Possible Light Brown Leghorn or ???

    Following up- based on the terra-cotta colored eggs this pullet is laying I have figured she is a Partridge Penedesenca! She is a cute little thing! that’s her perched by the pond with the comb that is flopping over a bit. Her eggs are very dark and solid with a matte finish before rinsing.
